REPUBLICAN SCHEME.

Alcoholic liquor and tobacco are
sources OF revenue the world over. Taxes
on them are easily collected and entirely
voluntary, for the consumer pays every
cent OF them. Besides, both are de-
structive industries, and deserve no favor
like iron, lumber, salt, etc. But Mr..
RandalPs scheme for the reduction OF
the surplus revenues contemplates the
taxes on liquor and tobacco, leaving the
tax on salt, steel rails, lumber and other
necessary materials untouched. This is
not scheme peculiar to Mr.. Randall,
nor does he deserve credit for its origina-
ton. 1t is Republican dodge, pure
and simple, and every Republican
in the House, with but few
exceptions, will jump att. "If adopted,
it will relieve the moon-shiners, but still
leave in full force the odious, unjust and
unwarrantable system Of taxation long in
vogue; continue to shut American manu-
facturers from the markets OF the world,
and keep enthroned in power the heads
Of the political monopolies upon whom the
Republican party rely at every election
for its campaign funds. Such scheme
should be ignored by every true Demo.
crat, leaving Mr.. Randall at the head Of
his Republican followers, for which place
he is so eminently fitted.

A NEW PHASE OF THE QUARREL.

The Roman Catholic Journal, in con-
nection with Henry Georges defense Of
DIR. McGlynn, says: "With one stroke of
the pen George has dissolved his hosts
lie has given the workingmen of New
York the choice between God and the
church, and him and his theories.
AS a political leader he is dead; as a
political economist he is dying"
The church organ is surely at fault and
its editor cannot have read the ten
columns in Georges paper, the Standard,
in defense of DIR. McGlynn and against
the action OF Italian ecclesiastics, when it
designates the effort as "a stroke OF the
PEN" While the Standards defense OF
the doctor may or may not have helped
him in his church relations, it is absurd
tU suppose that honest criticism OF sect
or party which interferes with the political
freedom of its members, deserves only
abuse or denunciation. Let every political
or ecclesiastical tub stand on its own
bottom in this free country. The Ameri-
can people will not tamely submit to
foreign or priestly interference in their
political affairs. Georges peculiar no.
tions upon the land question will never
prevail in this Republic, but the right to
hold and advocate them must not be in
fringed upon by saint or sinner.

ANANIAS AND THE PIONEERS.

The thirty-ninth anniversary Of the
discovery OF gold in California was cele-
brated in New York City by gathering
OF gray-bearded men who participated in
the stirring scenes Of those early days.
Many of them have since written their
names high on the roll of their country's
fame. The meetings of old pioneers and
OF old soldiers have an inspiration about
them unknown to any other conviyal
gatherings Truth in their experience,
is stranger than fiction, and it is no
wonder that their stories and reminis-
cences strike the ordinary humdrum
citizen as bordering on the unknown and
unknowable. Hence, one OF the New
York dailies hints that the spectre of
Ananias haunted the shadows of the
room in which the pioneers circled their
dinner table, and standing with joined
hands, sang together the song of the
Argonauts. Thank Heaven, there are
passages in the brief history of this young
nation which stir to profoundest depths
the hearts of the elders who laid iounda-

INTERNATIONAL MARINE LAW.

The United States Supreme Court has
quite recently passed upon question OF
international law, and establishes the
general rule in connection with crime
committed on vessels sailing under a
foreign flag, but within American Terri
tory, as follows: Disorders which dis
turb only the peace OF the ship or those
on board are to be dealt with exclusively
by the sovereignty of the home OF the
ship, but those which disturb the repose
OF the people on shore may be suppressed
and, if need be, the offenders punished
by the proper authorities OF the local
jurisdiction" The case grew out OF the
murder of a Belgian sailor by another on
Belgian vessel lying at New Jersey
dock. Query-Should the murderer be
tried under the laws OF Belgium or New
Jersey?

PARTY ORGANIZATIONS.

The system OF party government in tins
country would hardly have been main
tanned so long were not strong underlying
reasons for it in the widely conflicting
views of political policy. 1t is true
enough that lamentable confusion Of
principle and policy has recently pre-
vailed in the two great party organiza-
tions, and on some important questions
party lines have been almost obliterated.
But if the difference between Democrats
and Republicans were reduced to a mere
question between the GINS" and "outs"
it is probable that the people would not
permit the two parties to disappear.
Should either of them fall into decay
through the incapacity of its lead
ers to keep step with politica
progress, another and more vigorous
organization would be likely t.
rise in its place. The division OF the peo
pie into two great parties prevents dis
persion in factions, and makes it more
easy to hold in check the party il

The New York City press is greatly
exercised over the fact that Nevada has
a representation in the United States
Senate Chamber equal to that OF the
State of New York. Let the metropolitan
bohemians comfort themselves with the
fact that though Nevada Senators may
count less constituents at their backs,
yet as whole, in brains and personal in
tluence, they have been fully equal to
the New York,,Senators. Nevada, through
her Senators, has exercised a greater in
fluence in the councils and upon the
silver and mining policy of the nation
than has New York. Let the CALLED jade

THE CALIFORNIA sENAToRsHIP.

George Hearst, yesterday chosen as
one of California's Senators, is a repre-
sentative mining man, and as such his
election will be a qualification to the min
ing fraternity on this Coast, without re-
gard to party. Both parties have Il sur
felt of lawyers as legislators. He is
staunch Democrat, and his party will
never have cause to regret or be ashamed
of the action of "Uncle George" as
he is familiarly called by those who
know him best. The interests OF his
State and of the great mining in
dustry on the Pacific slope, will
be safe in the hands of this level headed
practical, self-made man. The great and
productive mineral interest has too long
been but football, to be kicked from
pillar to post by politicians who neither
know nor care OF its wants or OF its claims
on the Nation. He is 81 years OF age
and will bring to his high office the ma
tured experience OF long and successful
business life.

THE NEW YORK sENAToRsHIP.

The nomination of Frank Hiscock,
which is equivalent to an election as Sen
ator in the place of Miller, in New York,
is just rebuke to the latter. Miller's
determination to be his own successor
against the wish OF majority OF his party
and in the absence OF any special claim
on the Office Or his party, shows him to
be scrub Morton's abilities and party
services far exceeded those of Miller's.
The obstinacy OF Miller's followers
proved to be the opportunity OF His
cock, and the Morton men, finding
they could not elect their man, elected
that "Pulp Miller" should be ground to
powder in the mill of their own choosing,
and cast their votes for far ADLER man
than ever Miller dared to be. Mr.. Hiscock
is 81 years OF age, is lawyer of Syracuse,
has been Member of Congress for the
last eight years and was reelected to the
| Fiftieth.

SPEcULAToRs who combine to increase
the price of necessary articles Of
living, such as food, fuel, light and
clothing, should be classed as criminals
and sent to the penitentiary. A recent
decision in one of the State courts is to
the effect that an obligation incurred by
"a party to corner on lard was in the
nature OF gambling debt and its collec-
ton could not be legally enforced. The
strike OF the coal miners has been made
an excuse for raising the price Of coal in
many Eastern cities, resulting in much
suffering among the poor.

EUREKA The New York Tribune has
found 1.-THE reason why the Democrats
OF the House passed the Tucker bill. 1t
was because they expected the United

constitutional. The local namesake of

this with great glee in its special Wash
ington dispatches. The Democratic Con-
gressmen remind us OF the eccentric
California gambler who gave an honest
miner thousand dollars, that he might
have the pleasure OF winning it back at
cribbage.

SENATOR STANFORD is reported as hav-

consequently the election OF United
